The Argentinian earth observation satellite ÑuSat-1 will carry a linear
transponder installed by AMSAT Argentina. The satellite is scheduled to
launch on a CZ-4B rocket from Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center in China on
May 30, 2016 on a 500 km sun-synchronous orbit at 97.5 degrees.
The U/V inverting transponder, named LUSEX, will have an uplink of 435.935
MHz to 435.965 MHz and a downlink of 145.965 MHz to 145.935 MHz. With 250
mW. There will also be a CW beacon at 145.900 MHz with 70 mW. El

Dear Friends,
Launch of LUSEX, second AMSAT ARGENTINA amateur satellite next May 30,
will mark an extraordinary event for our Institution and fostering of hope
for satellite community. Details of LUSEX (LU Satellite EXperiment) are
available on http://lusex.org.ar .
As we quoted when the announcement of the launching of this experiment,
Amsat Argentina has been working for several years to keep alive the dream
of many Argentine amateurs to get back into Space with their own satellite
as a follow-on of the legendary 1990's LUSAT-1, reaping the benefits of
Technological advancement of our days.
We believe technical activities and developments of experiments in near
space share the same goals: preserving the human group, enhancing their
capabilities as well as disseminate and guiding the education and
development of the activity, meanwhile contributing to Space available
resources.
Our agreement with Satellogic Enterprises, which already launched three
low orbit satellites: Captain Beto, Manolito y Tita, two of which transmit
telemetry and data currently in UHF identifying themselves with callsign
LU7AA, allowed us to ride a linear analog amateur radio transponder and
corresponding antenna aboard one of their next satellite, ÑUSAT-1
AMSAT-LU provides simultaneously, support for this mission and the ÑUSAT-2
mission, by operating one of the control stations at Tortuguitas, Prov. Of
Bs.As.
The experiment Amsat-LU developed, evolved from original design of our
colleague and partner William, PE1RAH, while electronic adaptation,
mechanical and software was made by LUSEX group, mounted on a 10 x 10
centimeters radiating plate, in which components of the power supply as
well as a duplexer and dual band antenna where also incorporated.
This set was installed on the Ñusat-1 bus, which supplies power and
becomes part of several other experiments this satellite will make.
The transponder receives UHF which is broadcasted in VHF, has a bandwidth
of 30 KHz. with an output power of 250 mW.
435,935 ~ 435,965 are LSB/CW uplink.
145,965 ~ 145,935 are USB/CW downlink.
145,900 Basic CW Telemetry.
The launch will be from a Chinese launcher in a polar orbit at 500 km.
